=== The Vision ===
{{Summary|
If we want real change, we need to agree on what that's going to look like. So what are we waiting for, let's design our new reality!
'''Welcome to OneHouse.''' A global, crowdsourced collaboration to design a blueprint for our shared future. Explore our foundational hubs below, participate in the dialogue, and help us rewrite the status quo.
<br>
}}
As all projects begin with initializing and planning, so should this project. That means that all stakeholders need to be considered, those directly and indirectly involved.
<br>
Since this project involves everyone who has the capacity to communicate their thoughts and share their needs and opinions, then it involves you. Every last one of you; and me.
<br>
I need you - contrary to what others have told you. We all need to understand one another. All of us. Yes, all of us - your opinion matters as much as anyone else's. We have the tech. Let's finally put it to good use.
<br>
<br>
If you have any questions while I set up the skeleton for this dialogue, feel free to reach me at epangea.info@gmail.com or +13438822015
<br>
<br>
'''Guideline is simple:''' Keep the conversations civil, constructive and collaborative. There's zero room and zero tolerance for indecency and irrelevance. Zero. Free resources are available on Opencourseware.org, Coursera.org and Edx.org if you need to learn the art of communicating and collaborating constructively. Once you're ready, your thoughts will always be welcome on here, no matter who and where you are.

=== The Invitation ===
=== The Big Question(s) ===
''An Open Invitation to Reinvent Our Reality. It's time we drop all the existing veils and matrices we were shaped into absorbing, believing, accepting and, currently living without considering radical change.''
Do we know what ''world peace'' '''looks''' like? Can we '''envision''' an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently '''accept''' as the status-quo? How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a '''good standard of living''' and '''quality of life'''?<br><br>Who gets to define '''a good life''' for '''everyone''' with '''precision'''? Can any '''single person''' or group of persons '''have''' such answers ready for the '''entire''' world to '''accept and adopt'''?
<br>
</div>
Our votes have failed us. Is any governmental structure good enough anymore, regardless of where we live in the world? Are there any public servants or any of their/our leaders doing us, the public, any satisfactory service anywhere? Do we see action that we ask for, or do we only ''hear'' them utter what we want only to later face disappointing or deceiving outcomes from their administration? I, a 45 year old Lebanese-born Canadian who has lived in West Africa and East Asia for the past decade, have certainly felt less than impressed by all government bodies that I have been exposed to so far.
<br>
 
Isn't it high time we give up on the archaic notion of electing someone to speak on our behalf? What good is the Internet if we can't put it to our service and use it for what our forefathers and predecessors could not possibly dream of - mass communication! We finally have the tools to speak for ourselves - so the only question is, what are we waiting for???
<br>
 
We can't POSSIBLY do worse than our governments seeing as how they STILL cause wars and destruction when our collective understanding reaches far beyond the intelligence and compassion necessary to avoid such illogical and universally unproductive self-harm. Let's take this opportunity to reinvent our reality. Redesign it exactly how we envision it to be - together, peacefully. There are no limits to our creativity - let's just get all our heads together and design the most relevant, modern, intelligent global reality we can possibly design for ourselves. It starts right here. With you voicing your thoughts on the matters that matter to us all the most.
 
=== The Questions ===
What is a nation? What is a man-made concept? How can we manage collective interests more efficiently and effectively?
<br>
Why do we vote? How do we vote? How could we vote more efficiently and effectively?
<br>
What is learning? How is that different from education? How can we learn more efficiently and effectively?
<br>
What is a value exchange system? Is bartering more meaningful than current currencies? How can we deal and transact more efficiently and effectively?
<br>
What is energy? How does energy affect life and evolution on earth?
<br>
What is an economy? Can politics and the economy work in separation from one another? How can the economy nurture growth, evolution and prosperity?
<br>
What is a healthy lifestyle? How can the economy nurture growth, evolution and prosperity?
<br>
What is the role of technology? How can humanity leverage technology?
<br>
What’s the alternative to this seemingly mad, and arguably ignorant, “Let’s all hold hands and sing kumbaya” proposal?
<br>
What have we done with our earth? How can we live on it more efficiently and more effectively?
<br>


=== A Borderless World ===
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">
<br>
=== 🎵 The Call to Action ===
What exactly is a nation? A unity formed amongst a people that share a particular set of languages, arts and traditions? When we dig a little deeper, do we not find that such cultural traits differ from one region, or even one community, to the next? Do these pockets not find themselves disassociating themselves from each other as different, unique or “better” than their neighbour? It seems as though community pockets have more than enough reasons to divide themselves from each other already, that one must wonder once again – what is a nation and what does it represent? Perhaps the flag is simply a representation of the central tax bank treasury which provides the shared services for collective needs, such as managing infrastructure or defending the nation? So then, is a nation or state indifferent from its governing bodies that represent and work for the people, to provide such needs? I propose we dig deeper and see what we uncover.
Though a seemingly ambitious (utopian, dreamy, bla bla - just have some imagination and capacity for vision, will you?) objective, you and I (we) can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted [[THE BLUEPRINT|'''BLUEPRINT''']] of what life on earth could '''and should''' be like.

=== The Vocal Invitation ===
<div style="display: flex; gap: 15px; flex-wrap: wrap; margin-top: 15px;">
If there is any interest, we can schedule a weekly online virtual meeting to discuss these ideas that can bring us even closer together, collaborate better, grow faster and help move everyone forward. The voices of individuals from around the world can bring us new perspectives in every exchange, especially if some of you prefer speaking over writing. All timetable and platform suggestions are welcome.
<br>
At the moment, I suggest Wednesday 1300UTC (currently translates to 9am Eastern Daylight Savings Time; 9pm Indochina Time).
We can use Google Meet, Ms Zoom, or a cool Vietnamese startup whose owner I met recently and who leverages distributed networking for his app [https://quickom.com Quickom]
<br>


The questions currently compiled for these discussions are below (The idea here was to leverage these "in-person" meetings to help us further the written conversations and notes, so we may continue to track our advances and improve our blueprint designs for the alternate reality that we envision and build together).
<div class="mw-ui-background-indicator" style="flex: 1; min-width: 280px; border: 1px solid var(--border-color, #e5e8e8); padding: 16px; border-radius: 8px; box-shadow: 0 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,0.02);">
<br>


''Can we envision a different approach to value exchange and property ownership (and shared/common resources/services, nationless community delimitations, legislation, work, transportation/commutes), perhaps comparable to indigineous lifestyle, but can incorporate people's modern lifestyles? What else would we need to change in the way we do things (and/or the way we think) so we can achieve this (these) new approach(es)/solution(s) that we envision?
=== 🪏 The How ===
<br>
We can start right here, right now. No business can function without a vision and a mission - so, we need to define ours as a species. If you never took the time to envision anything or create a mission for your personal existence, please ruminate on that as it's quite important if you ever want to develop a unique identity.


Do we still need nations?
Otherwise, you're very likely to be a victim of a system that regurgitates and manufactures herds, all living and willing to die for some made-up group. The more '''individual''' voices participate in designing [[THE BLUEPRINT|this blueprint]], the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It is '''that''' simple.
<br>
</div>
What is a nation? What purpose does it serve humanity? If necessary, is there any other way earth can be delimited or attributed? Can we envision a world of diverse communities where people get to live next to neighbours with whom they share much more in common than they do now? What challenges do such changes pose? How can we transition from what we have today to a borderless world that we may envision?

<br>
Does my flag have anything to do with me as an individual? How do group affiliations and identities affect us as a society? Does labeling anyone or any group align with universal beliefs in human rights? Do i need a religion or a god to fear in order to live a moral, or ethical or compassionate and considerate life? What values can i nurture to live such a life? Take the IB learner profile for instance, are these universal and sufficient values?

⚡ TL;DR — Quick Insights

Welcome to OneHouse. A global, crowdsourced collaboration to design a blueprint for our shared future. Explore our foundational hubs below, participate in the dialogue, and help us rewrite the status quo.

⚡ The Big Question(s)

Do we know what world peace looks like? Can we envision an entirely different approach to life on earth than the one we currently accept as the status-quo? How would our planet function if we wanted everyone to have a good standard of living and quality of life?

Who gets to define a good life for everyone with precision? Can any single person or group of persons have such answers ready for the entire world to accept and adopt?

🎵 The Call to Action

Though a seemingly ambitious (utopian, dreamy, bla bla - just have some imagination and capacity for vision, will you?) objective, you and I (we) can make it our mission to define such a world. An unprecedented, globally defined and accepted BLUEPRINT of what life on earth could and should be like.

If you never took the time to envision anything or create a mission for your personal existence, please ruminate on that as it's quite important if you ever want to develop a unique identity.

The more individual voices participate in designing this blueprint, the less bias, and more universal and inclusive our objectives will be. It is that simple.

Let your voice be your vote on all things that matter to all of us in THE BLUEPRINT.
